The Milwaukee Road, Soo Line and GM&O GP30 trucks were GSCs with GE 752 traction motors. The CMSP&P trucks came from traded in RS3’s, while Soo Line and the GM&O ones came from traded in FA’s.
Well if they ever want to come up here, they sure are welcome!
Boy does she look nice. She also handles real nice and smooth. We added an RS5T near the exhaust stack becasue the crews were complaining about how loud the Leslie over the cab was. I dont know myself, when I ran her I just let that baby wail, but maybe thats me.
We also added a gyralight on top.
If anyone wants to see some really nice pictures of here go to railpictures.net and look up Dave Schauer, and keep scrollling till you find the night pictures with her and the FP7 #2500.
Also, regarding BNSF GP39E’s, most do still have the GP30 cab and fins, but some only have the fins. They are pretty easy to spot.
Dale, I do appreciate this lsit. Ever considered work for TRAINS?
